The rich available literature offers ample evidence
for the essential formal and generic unity of such major African divination systems as Ifa,
Sixteen Cowries (Nigeria, Benin), Sikidy (Madagascar), and Hakata (Southern Africa), all of

"...In my reading of divination literature I eventually came across the duplicate of the Bamana
technique 5,000 miles to the east in Malagasy sikidy (Sussman and Sussman 1977), which inspired
a study of the history of its diffusion.The strong similarity of both symbolic technique and
semantic categories to what Europeans termed geomancy was first noted by Flacourt (1661)...

The commonality was confirmed in a detailed formal analysis by Jaulin (1966).
But where did it originate?...

...Skinner (1980) provides a well-documented history of the diffusion evidence, from the first
specific written record, a ninth century Jewish commentary by Aran ben Joseph...

...The oldest Arabic documents (those of az-Zanti in the thirteenth century) claim the origin of geomancy (ilm al-raml, "the science of sand")...

...Mathematically, however, geomancy is strikingly out of place in non-African
systems.

...European geomancers -- Raymond Lull, Robert Fludd, de Peruchio,
Henry de Pisis and others -- persistently replaced the deterministic aspects of the system
with chance.By mounting the sixteen figures on a wheel and spinning it, they maintained their
society's exclusion of any connections between determinism and unpredictability...

...In Africa, on the other hand, base two calculation was
ubiquitous, even for multiplication and division. And it is here that we find the cultural
connotations of doubling that ground the divination practice in its religious significance.

The Roman de la Rose is one of the great works of 13th Century Literature. It is an extended allegorical poem begun by Guillaume de Lorris and completed by Jean de Meung, in which in a dream vision the Lover wishes to win his Lady, the Rose. Jean de Meung's contribution has a section in which Nature discusses destiny and free will, explains the influence of the heavens and discourses on dreams. In the 16th century a poem, the 'Remonstrances de Nature a l'alchymiste errant' was ascribed to Jean de Meung (but most likely was written in the 16th century).
